All the claims of Satbir Singh a resident of village Nayagaon, were found baseless, who recently reached the mini secretariat of district Rewari for creating PPP ID without any registration on the portal by tying ‘Sehra’ for garnering cheap publicity. Satbir Singh’s tall claims were exposed when DC Rewari personally reviewed the matter. It was found that Satbir Singh created ruckus without applying on the PPP portal, then falsely alleged administration for delay. Regarding the matter, Deputy Commissioner Imran Raza handed over the investigation to CRID’s Nodal Officer and ADC, Sh. Swapnil Ravindra Patil. CRID’s Nodal Officer and ADC informed that the CRID Team Rewari visited Satbir Singh alias Satbir Sharma resident of Nayagaon Dohki for single member verification. During investigation it came to the light that the said person Satbir Singh alias Satbir Sharma never approached the department to get the Parivar Pehchan Patra till date. Neither did he make any application through any CSC centre, on the basis of which CRID could take any action on his application. Sh. Patil informed that there are 2 sons of Satbir Singh, elder son Gurdayal is working in CRPF and currently living in Hyderabad and younger son Vinod is living in Jhurjhuri village in Najafgarh and running his ancestral business (wooden furniture work). During investigation, it was informed that the said person was living in Najafgarh with his younger son for the last 20 years and rarely come to the village for 10-15 days. The Additional Deputy Commissioner said that Satbir Singh is not making this effort to get his pension or any other benefit from the government, rather he probably wants to gain cheap publicity like his previous attempts. The said person Satbir Singh had earlier also contested the election from Rewari Vidhan Sabha. He also contested the election of Sarpanch in his village, during which his security deposit was also forfeited. Even after that, Satbir Singh kept doing such meagre things to stay in the limelight despite being self-sufficient. The team informed that the following 5 persons had applied for a single family from the village belonging to Satbir Singh, which has already been verified. Out of which 4 single family applications were revealed in the survey conducted by the department and one person Suresh Chaudhary applied in March 2023 which has also been verified. Single member’s PPP can be made by the following process ADC, Sh. Swapnil Ravindra Patil further said that the entry in the PPP of a single member is done according to the prescribed rules. He said that it is necessary for the applicant to apply on Mera Parivar Haryana portal through citizen login or CSC centre through his Aadhaar card, after which an e-family identity ID is generated by the department, which after some time can be used in the login of the employee working at the zonal level for verification. He verifies it by going to the field, if the applicant really lives alone, then the verification is done by the employee and the applicant’s PPP is issued by the department.

Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said that Nirogi Haryana Yojana, launched to fulfill the resolve to provide the best health services to the poor and needy citizens,  is proving to be highly effective. So far, a health check-up of 13.70 lakh citizens has been done under this scheme.  The scheme aims to detect diseases at the earliest to lessen the burden of treatment costs on the patient’s family, he added. The Chief Minister was interacting directly with the beneficiaries of Nirogi Haryana Yojana through audio conferencing under CM’s Jan Samvad programme on the occasion of International Doctors’ Day here today. During the audio conference, the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude towards the Chief Minister and said that by running such a scheme, the Haryana government has ensured benefits to the needy. Earlier, any kind of tests were only done when there was pain or any other type of problem in the body. There is no greater advantage to us than having tests done free of cost for people like us thanks to such visionary programme. Sh. Manohar Lal said that our government is committed to provide high quality health services to the citizens of the state with the aim of “Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah Sarve Santu Niramaya”. Nirogi Haryana Yojana is also a part of Antyodaya Abhiyan. Apart from improving the economic, social and educational status of the poor, ensuring their good health is also one of our prime goals. With this visionary approach the Nirogi Haryana Yojana was launched in the state by President,  Smt. Droupadi Murmu, on the occasion of International Gita Mahotsav (November 29, 2022).  The Chief Minister said that the objective of Nirogi Haryana Yojana is to conduct a complete health check-up of the entire population of the state at least once in two years. In its first phase, the health of 30.60 lakh Antyodaya families with annual income up to Rs. 1. 80 lakh is being examined. There are a total of 1 crore 21 lakh 54 thousand members in these families. A campaign is being conducted to check their health status.  Sh. Manohar Lal said that so far 2.13 lakh people have been found suffering from one or the other disease during the health check-up being done under the scheme. Out of these, about 55 thousand people have been found suffering from Anaemia. Among them, the number of women is more. I request sisters and daughters to get their health checked from time to time and take iron pills or other medicines prescribed by the doctor on time, CM added. Similarly, many patients with blood pressure are also being found. It was found that more than 35 thousand people were found suffering from blood pressure abnormalities. Apart from this, 24,800 people are diagnosed with diabetes.  Symptoms of malnutrition were found in 3000 children. T.B. Patients up to 1,257 and cancer have been found in the investigation. 23,500 people were also referred to hospitals for treatment and most of them have been treated or are undergoing treatment.  The Chief Minister said that the facility of annual health check-up on more than 25 parameters is being made available free of cost under Nirogi Haryana Yojana. Presently these tests are being done at 458 places. But the target is very huge, so cooperation of the private sector will also have to be taken in this task. Planning is also being done for this.  Sh. Manohar Lal appealed to the citizens to include yoga or exercise in their daily routine. Also pay attention to healthy eating. He said that Ayurveda is a very old method of keeping the body healthy. He added that this is the reason why the government has opened Yogashalas/Vyayamshalas in the villages of the state. CM said, Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi launched the  Pradhan Mantri Janarogya Ayushman Bharat Yojana  for the treatment of families with low incomes after seeing the suffering of the deprived who are unable to get treatment because of a lack of resources. He said that the Chirayu scheme aimed at expanding the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme launched by the central government so that the maximum number of beneficiaries could be included in the scheme. In this, families with annual income up to Rs. 1. 80 lakhs are getting health cover of Rs. 5 lakhs annually. Now families with annual income up to Rs. 3 lakhs will also be included in this. About 29 lakh families of the state are being covered under this scheme. He said that about 1.11 crore people in the state are eligible for Ayushman Bharat-Chirayu Yojana.
